Tutorial: Kantha needle book

Sara from Radiant Home Studio shows how you can make a beautiful kantha needle book like this one. The fabric is pieced from small scraps of fabric – no rules, no matching corners, just sewn together. Kantha inspired running stitches covers the patchwork fabric in an all over design. Inside, there are felt “pages” where you can stick your needles. What better place to store your hand sewing needles than a little book made with pretty hand stitching.
